One of Open Philanthropy’s goals is to collaborate more often with other funders. Today, we’re excited to announce our biggest collaboration to date – the Lead Exposure Action Fund (LEAF).
Lead exposure causes an estimated 1.5 million deaths each year. But until recently, total donor funding for the problem was only about $15 million/year – less than 1% of what goes toward other neglected health challenges like tuberculosis or malaria.
Thanks to our generous partners, LEAF will be able to allocate at least $104 million between now and 2027. We estimate this will roughly double donor funding for this issue.
